Due to unforeseen circumstances, it became impossible for us to pay a credit card bill.  After unsuccessful attempts to resolve the problem with the cc company, it was turned over to collections.  Actually, I think it was purchased by this so-called law firm, Bronson & Migliaccio, LLP.

We received our first notice from Bronson & Migliaccio on Sept 17, 2009.  We made payment on the account in October and November (with letters confirming post-dated checks had been applied).  Then in Dec, we paid off the entire settlement agreement.  The agreement was for $8000, of which $8000 was paid in full on Dec. 2, 2009.

At that time, I was told that a letter would be furnished to us verifying that the funds were received and the settlement complete.  However, to date, we have received no letter of acknowledgment.

I called their offices repeatedly, and all but once, spoke with John McKenzie.  He really put on a show of caring and understanding, building trust and a positive relationship.  But, obviously, it was only for show. 

Every time I spoke with him, I was assured that the letter was sent, that another one would be sent, and that they would email me one, just to be sure that I received it. 
He used to return my calls, but won't even give me that courtesy anymore.  

All I want is a letter stating that this account has been paid.  At the beginning of this whole ordeal, he often reminded me of the importance of having written documentation and assured me that I would receive appropriate documentation.  Now he won't give me the time of day.

You can't leave it up to them

AUTHOR: Tim - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Saturday, March 13, 2010

Well, you kind of dropped the ball here by simply taking them on their word and making the payment. 8K is a good chunk of change, and you should have arranged to make the payment in exchange for the simaltaneous delivery of a letter of satisfaction and accord.

Now, however, having this letter isn't really an issue unless they (or someone else) continues to try to collect on the debt, or if the status of the debt is being reported erronsously.

As a first step I would suggest drafting the letter yourself and sending it to the attorney for him to sign and return to you. Let the attorney know that you are just trying to get him to live up to his end of the agreement without having to go to court to do so.

Best of luck!
